Happy Halloween!

Went trick or treating on Abbey Road tonight and got candy from Ewan McGregor's house (who I happen to have a crush on) but he wasn't the one giving out candy...maybe next year.

My new ride

This bike is the best thing that ever happened to me. After my husband and kids of course. It has given my life a new freedom and opened this city up for me.

Otis and Milly ride in it like they're the king and queen of England. Milly waving at everyone saying, "Hi-ya!"

It has been wonderful not having to use busses or the tube

Bedtime Story

Otis loves watching movies of himself. This is his favorite book right now.

First day of Nursery (pre-school).

Otis is going to a nursery called LJS 3 mornings a week. It's at a Liberal Jewish Synagogue. So far he is LOVING it. Here are pics from his first day.

I decided to document his journey to school because he looked so cute on the bus with all the people going to work.

He is not capable of passing a stick without picking it up and using it as some kind of weapon

Otie's birthday party

We celebrated Otie's birthday a few weeks ago at St. Johns Wood chruch grounds. It has his favorite park. Otis LOVES to answer how old he is by holding up these 3 fingers.

Otis and Ollie. Otis has met his match here. They are constantly tackling each other and wreaking havoc everywhere they go together. People often comment that they have never seen kids play as rough as they do together.

I'm not going to win any awards for the most creative and beautiful spread at a birthday party. I didn't have individualized water bottle covers or party favors. But it was stress free and we all had a great time.

Le Tour de France

On a Saturday morning in July we sat eating breakfast and were talking about how exciting it was that the final day of the Tour de France was the next day. Then we realized how close we actually were to it and decided we couldn't pass up the opportunity to go. So we scrambled and jumped in a taxi and less than 2 hours later we were on a train making our way to Paris for a quick one night stay!

We had a great spot to watch the race where they passed us 7 times in the final laps. It was so exciting to wait for them to come flying around the corner.

We came across this amazing nature art exhibit

This picture pretty much sums up my life right now.

We found a Mormon church on Sunday morning and it ended up being the highlight of the trip for me. I always love to meet members of the church in different countries.

The master navigater

The Louvre

I don't know who's kid that is, but I don't think he's supposed to be climbing there

Out and about town

On of my favorite things about London is the parks. Because most people don't have yards, the parks are always packed with people. This is Primrose Hill. We live really close and love to spend Sunday afternoons there. Otis can be found in the back right about to plow into some people with his scooter. Milly is obsessed with this stroller.

This is my view most days. Otie's scooter is not just a toy, but a mode of transport. He clocks some serious miles on it and has learned quickly to stop when asked and stay with me.

Just another business man on the tube

poor Milly in the back of that stroller- I had to snap a picture because she's such a good sport

We love the London Zoo. This is the snake cage where the Harry Potter scene is filmed where Harry talks to the snake.

We went to the Natural History Museum for a special dinosaur exhibit that they have going on and it was really cool. The building itself is so beautiful and ornate.

We don't know these people, but Otis was more interested in her book than posing for a picture
